How can I use Zapier to retrieve raw formula data instead of results from a Google Sheets cell?

Hi,

 

I am trying to get the raw data out of a cell in Google sheets and not the end result.

 

E.g. my cell will say something like =i1*0.5 and lets imagine the result in the cell in 2.

 

Zapier will only return “2” but I need it to return the actual formula like “=i1*0.5” so I can then replace text in a future format step. Is there a way to do this? At the moment, I am only getting the result and not the raw data.

 

Thanks,

Hi @gldc 

Can you provide more context about what you are trying to do with the full Zap?

Screenshots with how the Zap steps are outlined is helpful for context.
